What are Poundal and Centigram

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force used in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily in some English-speaking countries. It is the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. One poundal is equivalent to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Centigram

A centigram is a metric unit of mass that is equal to one hundredth of a gram or 0.01 grams. It is not a commonly used unit, as the gram and milligram are more prevalent. However, the centigram can be useful in fields that require precise measurement of small masses, such as medicine or chemistry.
